Help Shape the Future of Home Amenities in Des Moines🏠🏊‍♀️🗳

We want to start by thanking City Manager Katherine Caffrey for her quick and thoughtful reply to our letter about Ordinance 25-001. Her response was appreciated and a good reminder that this process works best when the City and community are in conversation together.

This Thursday, the City’s Economic Development Committee will review proposed language regulating short-term home amenity rentals—including backyard pools like ours. As currently written, the ordinance would prevent us from continuing to operate.

We’re not asking for an exception—we’re asking for a more balanced, thoughtful approach that reflects what makes Des Moines special: strong neighborhoods, respectful community use, and common sense.

🔹 Read our letter to the City Council here:

🖊️ Sign our petition to show your support:

✅ We support smart regulation—this ordinance just needs more balance
✅ Proposed sound limits are lower than the natural noise in our neighborhood
✅ Proposed occupancy rules would cap us at just 6 guests, based on bedroom count—not outdoor space or parking
✅ Without changes, we wouldn’t be allowed to operate at all

We love this community, and we want to keep doing what we’ve been doing—respectfully and in service to our neighbors.

This is a great time for others to share their perspective too: What kind of approach do YOU want Des Moines to take when it comes to well-run home amenities? If you believe there’s room for thoughtful use and smart oversight, please consider adding your voice before Thursday’s meeting.

With gratitude,
Annie & Josh Pantzke

Pacific Waves Synchronized Swim Team called this afternoon. Their practice pool in Federal Way was shut down and they've got a competition coming up this weekend. Thank goodness we know someone with a pool!

It's so fun to be able to provide a service for our community. Hot tub and sauna are on me tonight, ladies.

Our vinyls on the cabana keep the heat in and the wind out, making the couch a perfect spot on a sunny winter day.
